Taste of Two Tercets


Memories sweet, a joyful, bright affair,
Your show of laughter banishing all care,
Love surrounds you with gift beyond compare,
Elegant spirit shining ever near,
Now celebrate with happiness sincere,
Every good wish throughout this coming year.

My Experience With The Runes

I did write poems on each  Rune.
The Frissian  futhorc I assume,
Each new rune lesson learnt- a boon.

Art and poems I showed to kin. 
Kin stated poems and art a win,
Rune poems writ came from within.

Ink drawings for each rune, I start.
Each drawing did  was from the heart,
Art and poem don’t stand apart.

Trio of Fall Tercets

Apple spice winds fanning the flames 
of campfire stories engorged with horror;
Fevered is the air filled with such games. 

Drifting away on falling leaves 
crackling colors paint the ground;
Art so poignant no one grieves.

Words cover me with a slow crawl 
ageless fear explodes on my skin;
I am now left in awe falling for it all.

Garden Tercets

A backyard garden
planted with flowering perennials 
so as not to seem deliberate

the green stalks swell
with anticipation
awaiting the creaking gate

of summer to open up
letting in, with a firm step,
the first orange flowers

March of the Taunting Tercets

Sitting on a global seesaw
Play a universal keyboard
Show (don't TELL) discordant sounds

Kneel to Ultimate Disruption
Flood the zone with zoonosis
We've got your mess uncovered

O the weaponized muse!
Wait for humanity to make an appearance
March through grumpy gamma rays

Forget a nuclear shootout
Promote a Swan Lake retirement
A soft landing in a noisy scenario

Music lives to fight another day
Stop the

Peace, Light and Love

Peaceful place
Enlighted with
The sweetness of the moon

Beautiful seabay
Immerged in a pretty 
Sky tenderness

Beauteous scenery
Located behind
The cliff highness

Sumptuous frame
Implanted on a natural temple,
Happiness for idyllic strolls!

Light by such a night
Is a wonderful reflect of the full moon

Then, one of the lovely rules taken 
From a sweet evening,
Should be...Peace, Light and Love!

Some Quirky Tercets

The nun is taking coke,

the pope is getting mad -

he told her not to choke.



Her habit's getting bad;

her doctor's even worse,

but drinking makes him sad.



He sped off in a hearse

and gambled quite a lot,

then stole a robber's purse.



Today is very hot,

the judge is getting tired -

he smoked a ton of pot.



I hear they're getting fired...

Freedom At Mid-Night Tercets

Freedom at Mid-Night



Huge crowd of a small town, lighted lamps and fireworks
No electricity, the only battery radio of my town on stage
Airing the first freedom speech of *Nehru sparking thus:

India made a tryst with destiny with many brakes
Now the time has come to redeem our pledge
At mid-night hour the world sleeps, India wakes.

A moment comes,

Embers of Time - Tercets-Win

As a kid I was fascinated to the gold ring of my grandma,
I used to play with it when she would cuddle me in her lap
As I grew up, got more introvert sitting alone as if in trauma.

The reason was ardent desire to get admission in university
Though my father with little means was trying hard

Cross the Bridge Cautiously - Tercets

To the wings of our dove, there is rosy parity

Fated to meet when the light meets the dark

Between us there is a bridge of love of solidity



As excited, I reached the bridge with hilarity

Hovering above me were dark clouds, Hark!

My eyes fixed on the other side with sere anxiety.



Standing on middle of the bridge with

Triple Redundant Tercets

The ebb and flow of your life is in a constant state of flux.
While the “meat and potatoes” of a soul are at its’ core,
these sublimations are kept hidden deep inside.

They’re always under cover and kept hidden deep inside,
roiling your life with a tidal action to a constant state of flux,
while the “nitty grittys” of
